[0011] Firstly, the stable device arranged on both sides of the second connector introduces the structural mechanism that the guide groove is slidably matched with the limiting strip, so that accurate guidance and positioning can be realized according to the connection state in the use process. When the baffle drives the limiting strip to slide along the guide groove to the specified position under external operation, the connecting structure realizes active locking, and the stability of connection is significantly improved. The structure avoids the problems that the traditional universal joint leaks or separates due to loose connection in fluid transmission or vibration environment, and realizes high reliability of the connecting piece under dynamic working conditions.

In the traditional structure, the clamping block needs to be replaced as a whole after wearing, and the maintenance cost is high and the downtime is long. In the present application, the clamping block structure can be quickly removed without disassembling the entire connector, and the replacement operation is simple, which greatly improves the maintenance efficiency and reduces the maintenance cost.
[0015] Furthermore, one side of the clamping block is designed as an inclined surface, and a double-sided supporting and positioning structure is formed by the first anti-skid block and the second anti-skid block, which enhances the anti-slip ability of the connection.
